Respected sir, being unarguably the finest mind in the field of English grammar, you are earnestly entreated with folded hands to solve the following issue that has baffled so many grammarians and teachers -Question He believed that I did it (Transfom this Complex sentence into a Simple Sentence)
Hi Sanjib! Thanks for this question. I'm not sure how to answer it, because if you try to convert a complex sentence into a simple sentence, you inevitably lose some of the meaning. Perhaps I have misunderstood you?
@@EnglishwithRupert Sir, my probable answers-(A) He believed me to have done it (B)He believed me to do it (C)He believed it to have been done by me (D)He believed it to be done by me (E)I was believed to do it (F)I was believed to have done it (G)He believed in my doing it (H)He believed in my having done it (I)It was believed to have been done by me.Sir, which of the above options do you think would be the most appropriate one both from grammatical and logical point of view? .
I see now. A, B, G and H would not be likely (A/B are incorrect grammatically, G/H uses a rare combination through "my"), but the others are all fine. 🙂
The lesson is detailed. You tried to teach the delicate issues and how to use adverbs in different situations. Also, clarified the meaning of adverbs. Grateful to you. Thank you so much.

Hi! I'm sorry to hear about the bad weather in your country 🙁. Your sentences are great! Just sentence 4 needs a change; "completely" would not go next to "very". Apart from that, great work 😁
@@EnglishwithRupert I appreciate the information and advice you have shared. Does the sentence I wrote use the correct adverb? I mean some areas of Thailand. I'm not too worried about flooding because in 2011, there was also flooding in Bangkok. I live in Bangkok and I am prepared for it.❤️😊🙏
... Hi Rupert ... allow me a question about an adverb not mentioned in your video ... Czech people (me included) are inclined to use "hitherto" mistakenly as an adjective ("his hitherto achievements"; "their hitherto existence"), but an addition of a real adjective seems to turn the mistakenly used "adjective" into a perfectly legal adverb, e.g. "his hitherto greatest achievements"; "their hitherto impeccable existence" ... am I talking nonsense? ... thanks ...
Hi Vladimir! Although it is technically an adverb, I'm fairly sure I've seen people attempt to use this word as an adjective in English, too. Probably best to avoid using it this way in your own English, though 🙂
1)Which preposition is correct? She has no children to support her a)at b)in her old age. 2) a)They are entitled to receive some compensation. b) They are entitled to receiving some compensation.
"Did" doesn't work here, but could possibly work when introducing two clauses and when "hardly" refers to little time e.g. "Hardly did I start the activity when the bell rang for the end of the day". It's much more common to say "Hardly had I started" rather than "Hardly did", by the way.
@@EnglishwithRupert Ohh i see! Okay sir.. Actually i continued my questions there but i write here! 1) Suppose I'm in class 10 and one of my friends is say to me what to do and not in college and reply to him "What if don't pass 10th" or "What if i didn't pass 10th" So what's the difference between these two and what's best to use?? I'm so confused in subjunctive specially in past one. 2) I wish i went or I wish i would go?? 3) My dilemma is here Sir.. *"They wouldn't or might not even know that their house is burglarizedd"* ( in the present somehow i got to know this news and the house owner isn't at home and I'm saying it to myself ) So here I'm not guessing or speculating but just saying it for no reason I mean sometimes we say like this? When we aren't actually emphasizing on something but just express things this way..Even we know they absolutely don't know about it still?? If i used "MUST" then it wouldn't imply that I'm guessing something with strong and firm evidence?? 4) let's say I'm biking to my home and suddenly i encounter a pothole and i have to move aside my two wheeler in no time to avoid it and a lady is behind me on her two-wheeler hit into it and starts quarreling and i say "HOW WOULD I KNOW (in advance) that there's pothole ahead?" So this would be correct? Because ( I'm not talking about any future thing ) I'm saying it for present and it's very obvious, I don't know how to express such a thing. I know i have bit long list but please correct me if I'm wrong and thanks in advance 🙏
I'll create one reply for each question: 1. The "don't" question means "happen in the future", whereas the "didn't" question means "imagine this situation". Although "don't" feels more likely to be a genuine possibility, there isn't a lot of difference in real life use.
I invariably relish your weekly uploaded lectures with great amount of eagerness!
I'm glad that my videos are still being helpful for you 🙂 All the best Rupert

❤❤❤❤❤ enjoyed a lot; could you please create a punctuation video?
Thanks! I will make a punctuation video at some point in the future 🙂
That's a challenge! Thank you for the video!
I hope you enjoyed the challenge 😁
@@EnglishwithRupert I did! :)
Thank you ❤
I'm glad that I'm your student. ❤
Thanks Santos!
Thanks a lot trillion
At 49,probably is used before been running, not before running, which is main verb here.
Used is a main verb here and is is auxiliary verb
Yes, when you have AUX + BE + MAIN VERB, the adverb goes after auxiliary and before "be".
1, Always
I always record my lessons.
2, Frequently
During the rainy season, there are frequently storms, floods and landslides.
3, Quickly and unexpectedly
They quickly and unexpectedly fled from floods and mudslides.
4, Completely
They were completely.very wet and dirty when they arrived.
The more the population increases, the more disasters occur, all of which are caused by man-made disasters.
5, Too
I might have to prepare for a typhoon, and I'm preparing for the impact too.
6, Regularly
I cook Thai food regularly.
7, Really, End
I really hope it ends and there is light.
8, Immensely
Immensely grateful.
❤️😊🙏
Correct the sentence
4, Completely
They were completely, wet and dirty when they arrived.

Every sentence had an appropriate adverb; it was simply that "completely" and "very" should not appear next to each other 🙂

Hardly did any people turn up. Is it not correct?see at 9.
"Did" doesn't work here, but could possibly work when introducing two clauses and when "hardly" refers to little time e.g. "Hardly did I start the activity when the bell rang for the end of the day". It's much more common to say "Hardly had I started" rather than "Hardly did", by the way.

2) Actually, "I wish I was going" is the most likely combination
They would know = speculating with high certainty
They might know = speculating with lower certainty
